“The house limo is great. The food is ok. The hamburger is pretty dry. Too little sauce. But the ingredients are fresh.The cheese dog is ok too. All in all it's edible but compared to other burger shops I can't understand why it's so hyped here.“

“Love the atmosphere and the music. The food was good but there are some key points to take note of. The tortilla soup was distinctly lacking in salt to bring the flavors together and there were FAR too many carrots. It cam across very bland initially until I added a lot of salt. The Big Curious Salad was very tasty and the dressing light but flavorful. I added beef skewers to the salad and those skewers were AMAZING! Please note that the online photos show the big curious salad with avocado and clementine, that is not the correct photo as the big curious has neither of those ingredients. All in all an enjoyable meal.“

Daughter got pancakes of course which were on the spot. Wife got some chorizo dish that she enjoyed. Definitely going to make it a go-to spot for brunch.“

“Large, luscious burger, high quality meat, just dripping its juices and sauce I was soaking up with the fries, chasing every drop. And the fries -- creamy inside surrounded by perfectly crisp outsides, lovely light seasoning that's not salty. Oh, man, and my daughter loved her chicken sandwich and its (red) cabbage slaw. I had a taste of the slaw, now I'm tempted to have that sandwich next time just on the strength of the slaw. And all at a totally reasonable price, srsly. Nice people, too, and a quiet courtyard at the side for eating there. I can't wait to go back. I forgot to mention the buns were the kind that are soft but compress down as you bite to be part of the chewy yumcious. Just great.Vegetarian options: Veggie Burger“

“Great burger ... really great. Sadly, it's overpriced for what you get. It's a thing I would only get if the line was non-existent. Standing in a long line for an overpriced burger is over-rated.The fries are spectacular. They are cooked in beef tallow...like McDonalds did back in the day.“

The staff were super busy and nice.Dietary restrictions: We did not try to ask to change anything, but menu says no substitutions or changes. The burger had bleu cheese which was fine with us but we wondered what they do if you don’t want that.“

“How have I lived here for as long as I have without knowing about this little gastronomical gem. A friend introduced me one night and I was instantly hooked on the place and the Pono burger with the Pono sauce. I’m a fan of sweet potato fries and those were quite divine, aioli on the side. We just went back for a casual Sunday lunch as our last food hoorah after Thanksgiving. That LUNCH! Perfection. Highly recommend. Have the spicy marg to go along with it. Light, refreshing, also perfection. Pono appetit!“

“A pub located on Santa Monica Beach, about 30 minutes by Uber from Los Angeles International Airport.Light music plays, and you can watch sports such as the NBA on the screen.There are many craft beers available, and the medium size of $11 can be considered a large size for Japanese people. Fish and chips also come in half sizes. (lol)There were three options for the tip at checkout: 18%, 20%, and 25%, or you could customize it by writing it yourself.When I visited Las Vegas over 10 years ago, it was 10, 15, 20%. . This may also be due to the effects of inflation.“

When they have made your order they will call you and you go pick it up.You can refill on drinks and they also have hot peppers and jalapeños that you can grab as well.Good place to come with friends.“

Cafe at the Shores Sandwich Shop • $
2720 Neilson Way, Santa Monica

“Nestled within the vibrant community of The Shores, The Cafe beckons with promises of culinary delights and warm hospitality. Intrigued by its reputation for fusion cuisine and cozy ambiance, I recently embarked on a gastronomic journey to uncover the treasures hidden within.I had the chance to try their new item Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl, I was immediately transported to a realm of savory bliss. The rich umami flavors of the kimchi mingled harmoniously with the hearty goodness of the fried rice, creating a symphony of tastes that danced upon my palate. Each forkful offered a delightful contrast of textures—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—and left me craving more with every bite. The addition of perfectly cooked vegetables added a refreshing touch, while the subtle heat of the kimchi provided a satisfying kick that lingered pleasantly on the tongue.“

“Popped in here on a Friday night recently and really enjoyed it! About an hour before close and they were busy but service was great. We were tempted by some of the tots starters but stayed with our burgers...I had a patty melt and my companion had a burger. Both were well prepared and tasted great! Had a real neighborhood feel. This restaurant is in a cluster of places in a mini courtyard. Parking is either on the street, or if you go around back there's a ramp down to parking below. Be careful not to park in the reserved spots. Meters on the street stop taking money at six, so that's where we ended up.“

Everything on the menu is wonderful, especially the "Fatburger." Delicious and tasty! I want to also add that this restaurant really sets the bar high for cleanliness and friendliness. Just stopped in on Sunday May 23rd, 2021and wanted to edit my review to say that as soon as I walked into the store everybody asked me how I was doing! That in itself is excellent customer service!“

We had a double pram and it was tight and not heaps of room to park inside.We were seated promptly and asked if we wanted to swap when a booth became free, but we managed fine on the stools.Ordered two burgers, (one a double) one kids hotdog and fries and shake. Another shake and a coke plus some onion rings.All the food was delicious and brought out fairly promptly.Cost was just over $40 + tip.Other than a bit tight for a big pram i would come back again.I came back again, still excellent.“

It's hardly ever that any burger is prepared so well that it looks better then the menus photo.Might I add the flavor was the best double quarter pounder with cheese sandwich i have ever had and I've been to all over a couple hundred mcdonalds across the United States kudos to the staff who cooked and prepared this sandwich. The fries also on point.I'm not sure what the management is doing here but it sure as hell makes everything flawless on comparison to its competitors.“
